Yeeey! I've got a Thinker for once! 🎉

@lewys-gp you should definitely check both Yellow Submarine and Magical Mystery Tour. A Hard Day's Night and Help! are great indeed. I have yet to watch the Disney+ one.

Thanks for the game @Mi-Amigo really liked this one (not just because I've got a thinker myself). Well done everybody!

[Cleoriff]

Thanks for the quiz @Mi-Amigo  and well done one and all.

There is a story behind Q8. 😂

Most of you know that we had an apartment in Spain for years and for 16 years we always took our grandson, Ben. Friday was Market day and Ben, then a football fanatic, would come to the market, purely because there was a stall which sold every countries football kit. The receptionists for the apartment block were also football fanatics. Ben soon learnt if he wanted praise (and sweets) from the receptionists, he had to wear the correct kit when they were on. For Juan, it was Real Madrid.  For Pepe, it was Barcelona and Paco it was Athletico Madrid. Juan spent a great deal of time extolling the 'magnificence' of RM along with the history. THAT'S the only reason I knew the answer to Q8, otherwise it would have been a pure guess. 😂

Ah, those were the days.....

[Mi-Amigo]

Thank you @Cleoriff 

Pleased you enjoyed the quz and well done n your award.

I love the story about your grandson in Spain and his love of football. 

[RafaC]

@Cleoriff that's a brilliant story, thanks for sharing! I love those kind of football-related anecdotes. As a football fan myself, I do enjoy those type of memories which have football as their thread.
